Kent County Road Commission crews are actively monitoring road conditions as a winter storm moves through West Michigan. Their efforts focus on keeping roads safe amid the snow and ice brought by the storm on November 29, 2025.
Alongside Kent County, nearby Muskegon and Ottawa counties use frost sensor technology to detect icy conditions and manage safety. This technology helps road crews prepare and react swiftly to hazardous frost and snow buildup, preventing accidents and ensuring smoother travel during winter storms.
Winter storms in West Michigan commonly bring heavy snowfall and slippery roads, requiring continuous vigilance by road crews. Monitoring and timely response are critical to maintaining safe highways and local roads during these events.
"Too much frosting is a good thing when you're icing a cake, but frosty conditions on roads can be a recipe for disaster," highlighting the importance of frost sensors and careful monitoring for road safety in Michigan counties.
The Kent County Road Commission proactively monitors and leverages frost sensor technology to safeguard West Michigan roads during winter storms, minimizing hazards and disruptions effectively.
